Summary of Mary Shapiro's HBR Guide to Leading Teams

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 To achieve the diversity sweet spot you’re aiming for, you must first envision the results you want, and then determine what strengths and capabilities you’ll need to achieve them. Don’t add another team member who excels at the same thing.

#2 The best teams are made up of a variety of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, set of performance goals, and approach.

#3 The larger the team, the more difficult it is to find meeting times, the longer it takes to make decisions, and the tougher it is to manage information and work flow. So bring together the smallest number of people necessary to provide the skills and perspectives you need.

#4 To reevaluate your team, list the skills and types of expertise you’ll need to tackle the team’s responsibilities. Then identify the fewest number of people who can cover most of those requirements.
